Chavez Takes Food But Relaxes Some Other Socialism

Hugo Chavez is having problems in Venezuela. Following food shortages created by his price controls, he has relaxed those slightly but taken to putting his other authoritarian foot down.

Venezuela’s top food company has accused troops of illegally seizing more than 500 tonnes of food from its trucks as part of President Hugo Chavez’s campaign to stem shortages.

The leftist Chavez this week created a state food distributor and loosened some price controls, seeking to end months of shortages for staples like milk and eggs that have caused long lines and upset his supporters in the OPEC nation.

So, realizing that socialism doesn’t work but not willing to let go Chavez has sent the thugs out to seize property. This is the way the left works folks. Vote for them in this country at your own risk.

Gee, wouldn’t just ending the socialism be easier? But where would be his power in doing that?

Leftists never give up. They just try more of the same.
